"You can say it now!" The Tide Queen looked a little unhappy.
However, Xia Duo did not feel the other party's real dissatisfaction. It seemed that it was just a show on the surface. Of course, even if it was true, he didn't care.
After confirming that there were no other irrelevant people in the Hall of Stars, Xia Duo briefly introduced the existence of the Illuminati, and then told the Illuminati about the traces of sea elves magic found there, and made a request in the name of the alliance:
"The Illuminati has become the enemy of the entire world, and it is even more critical now. So here, on behalf of the Northland Alliance, I also hope that the Queen will cooperate with our investigation."
"You want me to cooperate with the investigation?"
If the displeased expression on the Tide Queen's face just now was just a pretense, then it is really full of emotion now. This emotion is enough that Xia Duo can feel that the other party is like a volcano even from a long distance away.
Outburst of anger.
Not only that, but there is also the real power of the tide looming, as if a thunderous strike is about to happen at the next moment.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. What Advisor Shado means is that the situation is urgent. Only by working together can both parties stop the Illuminati's plan to destroy the world. At this point, whether it is the Northland Alliance, Sinaria, or Belluno
, we are all fellow travelers struggling to survive in the crisis of annihilation. If we have a conflict, wouldn’t it mean that the Illuminati will take advantage of us.”
At present, in the Palace of Stars, Sha Duo is the representative of the alliance, and Master Tyron and other alliance mages are all Sha Duo's subordinates. Only Meira can serve as the intermediary between the Northland Alliance and Belluno. She quickly stepped forward to smooth things over.
But this explanation did not satisfy the Tide Queen. She stood on the steps where the throne was, looked directly at Xia Duo from a high position, and said coldly:
"The crisis of world destruction is just your one-sided words, but it makes me doubt my people. I have to doubt your purpose. Aren't you afraid of angering me and then being buried under the sea?"
The queen said this, but did not actually take action. The meaning was obvious, either she started to believe Xia Duo, but there was no further evidence, or she did not dare to take action. No matter what, Xia Duo would not be worried.
Meera wanted to continue explaining, but Shado stopped her. He did not want to put himself in the position of a supplicant, and the alliance did not allow him to put the alliance in this place.
"The theory that the Illuminati will destroy the world is not a lie. I won't explain this too much. It's difficult to understand without personal experience. But I want to remind the Queen that -
"Although the traces of sea elves magic we found in the Illuminati may allow us to track further clues and play a certain positive role in the war situation, this is not necessary, and it is definitely not something Belluno can manipulate the alliance.
"I came here just to fulfill my duties, because the sea elves have indeed been found, but if the queen insists on not cooperating, then I will leave now.
"Next, no matter what the outcome of the decisive battle with the Illuminati is, it has nothing to do with Belluno. If the Illuminati wins, the entire world will be destroyed. If the Alliance wins, all remnants of the Illuminati will be liquidated after the war.
"That's all, the Queen can decide with one word whether to cooperate or not!"
If there were Queen's advisors in the Palace of Stars, Xia Duo would not force him in front of the Tide Queen's subordinates, but now there is only the Tide Queen herself here. Forcing someone is too ugly, but it is exactly what he said.
, the queen can decide this matter with one word.
Of course, even if the Queen of Tides refuses, Xia Duo will not really leave, it will just be a complete loss of face. As he just said, after finding out about Belluno, he will never give up easily.
After all, there is only one clue at the moment. If they give up, time may not be on the Alliance's side and let them find other clues.
But now, because Xia Duo didn't want to waste time arguing, he directly said it. Now the pressure immediately came to the Tide Queen. She frowned and stared at Xia Duo, as if she wanted to find some flaws in Xia Duo's expression.
.
But Xia Duo was very calm and looked at each other with the Tide Queen. As they looked at each other, the anger on the Tide Queen's face gradually subsided and her expression became extremely solemn. Although she was very unhappy in her heart, she also knew that she was facing a crucial choice.
.
Her choice may not determine the fate of the entire world, but it is very likely to change Belluno's fate.
She didn't want to make such a choice, at least she didn't want to make a choice when she was forced to have no way out. Thinking of this, her resentment towards Xia Duo became even heavier.
It's just that unlike just now, when she could show her anger by not understanding the current situation, if she continues to show her anger now, it would not be a good thing if the other party thinks it is rejection.
After all, even if the Queen of Tides thinks she has the ocean as a barrier, she is still wary of the land, let alone the alliance of countries on land. Its power is so strong that the ocean may not be able to become Belluno's barrier.
Or maybe you side with the so-called Illuminati, and you just listen to the other party saying that the purpose of the Illuminati is to destroy the world. What's the difference between standing with the Illuminati and committing suicide!
But just agreeing to the other party's request, the Tide Queen was unwilling to do so. She was just cooperating with the investigation. If there were further requests later, would she have to agree as well?
She was worried that after opening this hole, she would no longer be able to maintain her independence.
…
Just as the Tide Queen was hesitating, Shado suddenly spoke: "Just now, Sinaria has sent a formal application to the alliance to join the alliance.
“Currently, the Alliance is busy dealing with the annihilation crisis caused by the Illuminati, but there should be no surprises in agreeing to Sinaria’s application to join the Alliance after the war.
"If Belluno is willing, he can also join the alliance. In this way, the investigation will only be conducted within the alliance, and Her Majesty the Queen will have a reasonable explanation to her subjects.
"In return, after the war, I can propose to the alliance as an advisor to allow Belluno to open up a new home in the alliance's offshore area and carry out more cooperation."
Inviting Belluno to join the alliance was not a random decision made on the spur of the moment, but a decision made by Chateau after fully understanding Belluno on the way here.
Of course, the premise is that Belluno is willing to cooperate with him in investigating clues about the Illuminati.
As for Sinaria's application to join the alliance, he did not make it up casually, but the alliance headquarters had indeed received it and handed it over to the alliance headquarters not long after they left Sinaria.
It was just that this information had not been synchronized to him at that time. It was not until the representatives of the alliance had discussed that they had just synchronized Sinaria's application for joining the alliance and the preliminary opinions of each country to him.
In principle, the alliance welcomes any country within the Northern Territory to join. Although Sinaliya is located a little further away, it can still be considered within the Northern Territory.
But in fact, because of the newly discovered mithril mines in the Gray Peak Mountains, the countries in the alliance do not want to have another mouth to share this big cake.
